Thank you so much for the ideas and for the support and please forgive me for not being able to respond more fully ATM. I have another extremely violent night of sickness (same as the other night) and it truly felt like close to acute WD. I had downplayed the other night in an effort to try to keep myself as detraumatized as possible but I have been literally afraid for my life and I'm shaken up really badly. In fact, I feel very traumatized right now although I am feeling so much better physically.

I couldn't figure out WHY or HOW it was possible to feel in a near acute WD state but I finally made the connection and I will write about what provoked these violent and frightening attacks that lasted ALL NIGHT LONG without one minute of sleep.

I called the dentist and did get in today and that's another story but my tooth feels better already (just hope this last adjustment makes all the difference) and that I can land up saving my tooth.

Now I am suppose to take antibiotics again and I'm really afraid to do so but I have no choice. I'm not taking anything tonight though since, I NEED to keep my body free from any type of invasion of any kind and allow it and my psyche to regroup. Please keep sending your beautiful intentions my way. I'm so badly traumatized ATM but at least I now KNOW what happened and that, in of itself provides me with some comfort, on the other hand it does not. TBH, I'm terrified to take the antibiotics especially when there is no one close by to be available to me should anything severe occur.

Will share more (since it's very important for me to mention this to others who are in WD) as soon as I can detraumatize myself. Bless you all for being there for me! I'm really emotionally right now due to trauma as well as feeling grateful for your support. I just woke up for a 2 hour nap and I hope to sleep for my usual 4 hours tonight (which will feel like a dream compared to the violent sleepless nights I've had lately.

I hope to write more in a few days.

BTW, Sheila......thank you again for more suggestions. I will do the ice chip thing. It helps to have someone think for me since, I was so severely "out of it" and literally hanging on for my life that my mind could not think of anything else. I'd did so the salt water thing and I'm going to continue to do so.

Stan, please hang in there. Aside from these recent attacks (which BTW, you will NOT incur since it was NOT a WD attack per se), I had these bursts of symptoms as what you are experiencing. I truly believe the receptors are now in their final "let's get this job done once and for all" mode. They are cleaning up and stirring up some dust in the process but it will all settle very soon.

Just realize something. Despite feeling so traumatized ........this is the first time my mind has felt half sane in weeks. I have been really "out of it" mentally and trying to construct an email or post felt next to impossible but this evening my mind feels "unlocked" from a grip of intense mental confusion.

Thank you so much again everyone!
